Growing Information

The Chestnut Oak thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil, particularly sandy or loamy types. Moderate watering is recommended, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent overwatering. This tree typically grows to a height of 18 to 22 meters with a similar spread, making it suitable for larger landscape areas where a strong canopy presence is desired.
